The Border Consortium - TBC

Since 1984, TBC has provided food, shelter, and capacity-building support to refugees from Burma/Myanmar and internally displaced persons (IDPs).

TBC is a consortium of ten international Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) from eight countries. For 29 years TBC has provided food, shelter and capacity-building support to Burma/ Myanmar refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) through community managed programmes. It has also engaged in research into the root causes of displacement and refugee outflows. Membership is open to other NGOs with similar interests. TBC’s head office is in Bangkok, with field offices in the border towns of Mae Hong Son, Mae Sariang, Mae Sot, Umphang and Kanchanaburi. TBC also has an office in Yangon, Burma/Myanmar. TBC’s programme has evolved as circumstances have changed. In recent years increasing emphasis was place on promoting self-reliance of displaced people to reduce aid-dependency, particularly through the support of livelihood activities. However, following recent dramatic political reforms in Burma/ Myanmar which offer the possibility of reconciliation after decades of conflict, the focus has now changed to preparedness for refugee/ IDP return. TBC works in cooperation with the Royal Thai Government (RTG) in accordance with regulations of the Ministry of Interior. It is an Executive Member of the Committee for Coordination of Services to Displaced Persons in Thailand (CCSDPT). TBC’s programmes are consistent with the CCSDPT/ UNHCR 'Strategic Framework for Durable Solutions’ and are implemented through partnerships with refugee committees and community-based organisations. TBC is a signatory to The Code of Conduct for The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and NGOs in Disaster Relief, and as such, aims to be impartial and independent from any political viewpoint. TBC and its member organisations are not affiliated with the political aspirations or foreign policies of any government, group or movement.

Livelihoods – Promoting Refugee Self-Sufficiency

TBC supports sustainable livelihoods across all nine camps by promoting agriculture and food security through seed distribution, agricultural tools, and livestock projects. We run a community savings and loans program managed by refugees and offer capacity-building trainings. Through livelihood working groups, communities can organize, pool resources, and build a more self-reliant future.

TBC is the primary provider of cooking fuel for refugees across all 9 camps, working to store and distribute charcoal in an environmentally responsible way. We ensure that the charcoal is ethically sourced and promote energy-efficient cooking methods through demonstrations.

Community Driven Natural Resourcement Management: Refugee-Led Conservation and Sustainability

Refugees play a vital role in their local environment, contributing to the protection of biodiversity and helping to create safer, more resilient communities. Through grassroots conservation efforts such as river cleaning, fire breaks, and dam maintenance, they work to safeguard the land and its resources. In addition, refugees engage in sustainable food practices, planting vegetables and fruits that support their self-sufficiency and help alleviate food anxiety as rising commodity prices put pressure on their limited budgets. By caring for the land, refugees are building stronger, more resilient communities.

Food Security & Nutrition: Ensuring a Healthy Start for Refugees

As the nutrition lead in all 9 refugee camps, TBC is dedicated to ensuring that refugees—especially infants and young children—receive the nutrition they need to thrive. TBC promotes best practices in maternal, infant, and young child feeding while providing educational materials to support healthy nutrition choices. Additionally, we conduct nutritional screenings to identify at-risk individuals and enroll them in supplementary feeding programs to ensure they receive the support they need.

TBC’s Food Card System: Empowering Refugees Through Choice

Every month, over 108,000 refugees receive food support through TBC’s innovative food card system—a more efficient and empowering alternative to traditional rations. Refugee households receive a cash value on their card, they use it to buy food from refugee-run shops. This provides greater choice for refugees and generates employment opportunities. It costs approximately $1.3 million USD per month to provide food to refugees in camp.
